C# 6: New Language Features

C# 6: New Language Features - maybe a little C# 7 too!

Abstract:

Visual Studio released in the summer of 2015, and with it came C# 6. Joe will be reviewing some of the new language features. In addition, you will get to see how those features work, not just in the latest version of .Net (4.6), but in prior versions. Finally, Joe will try to help you determine which features you should focus on adopting immediately, and which ones you can gradually adopt, as the need arises.

The session will loosely follow a series of blog posts currently being written at Joe’s website. (http://www.infocraft.net/tag/new-features/)
